The Murky Mountains was a stretch of land that separated the Southern Federation from the rest of the Ulier Continent. The mountain range was full of dangers, so much so that even a Rank 3 Magus would prefer to avoid it if they could.
Flying dirigibles was the only mode of transport for people who wished to cross the Murky Mountains. Well, that and flying fantastical beasts.
On this day, a majestic creature gracefully flew over the Murky Mountains. Its body was covered in pristine white feathers that reflected the glow of the morning sun. It had a pair of wings on its back with a wingspan of over 15 meters, and its two pairs of limbs ended in sharp claws.
The creature's tail was long and slender, comprising almost half its body. The head of the creature was that of an owl, with piercing yellow pupils and a black beak gleaming with sharpness.
This was the famous Ithikari, a famous inhabitant of the Baja High Forest!
Volume 2 officially begins! I'm yet to think of a name though...
